Open House Picks: A Wide Range of Options
There’s not a brownstone in the bunch among our open house picks this week. Instead there’s a 1917 neo-Colonial number in Albemarle-Kenmore Terrace, an Arts and Crafts home in Windsor Terrace, a brick row house in Crown Heights and a limestone in East Flatbush.

There’s not a brownstone in the bunch among our open house picks this week. Instead there’s a 1917 neo-Colonial number in Albemarle-Kenmore Terrace, an Arts and Crafts home in Windsor Terrace, a brick row house in Crown Heights and a limestone in East Flatbush.
The Windsor Terrace house, a single-family, is the most expensive of the bunch, at $2,400,000. It’s a looker, though, and newly renovated, with plum and cherry trees in the back and a columned porch. It’s on a prime block, too.
The one in Albemarle-Kenmore Terrace looks more Philadelphia than Flatbush, with its brick facade, shutters and mansard roof with dormer windows. At three stories, it’s got five bedrooms, and details including leaded glass transoms, wainscoting, plaster moldings, stained glass skylights, original banisters, and herringbone parquet floors.
Moving over to Crown Heights, we’ve got a large one: 4,000 square feet spread over five floors — at least if you count the finished basement. It’s all brand new, though the renovators left the back yard untouched, so it remains in a “rustic” condition.
Last up, our East Flatbush pick is the cheapest of the lot at $799,000, which reflects not only the location but its need for a makeover. There’s period detail to be uncovered there, though, including coffered ceilings, wall moldings and gold-leaf lettering on the front door.

The prices on some of those places, especially Brooklyn Ave, seem to be a little intense. It’ll be interesting to see where these places stand 6 months from now.
Brooklyn Ave is a double duplex. Priced high, and it’s a flip, but you do get to have a 2 family with a large rental with high rental income and a large apartment for yourself. That’s uncommon.

The East Flatbush house would set a record for an unrenovated house in the area (not including the teardowns).
